SHITBRICKS: Insufficient (vespene gas) wheels

Game Talk The Bunker
1

i build my own auto-home.
size 6width 12length
6 axis, 1&2 axis have turnable wheels.
i try to drive but - “insufficient wheels” i read. 12 wheels - and insufficient?!?!
BTW - weight of my autohome is about 10000

maybe game engine cannot correct drive that car? only one axis with (turnable) wheels can be in auto?

Could be weird wheel orientation.
Post screen of the car.
You can turn on debug mode to see where is the center of weight of the car. If it isn’t surrounded by wheels, the car will be unbalanced.

i ONed debug mode and enter into carbuilding mode - i get big CROSS, up and left rays is green and down and right rais is red.
pardon, is i right undersand, what i need to build car exactly AROUND “begin point” of car??? (other name PIVOT)

and - AFAI understood - i need to CMPLETELLY disassemble my car :frowning:

and - is car may have boom cranes for lifting himself for [dis]mounting wheels?
one boom for frontside and one boom for rear side.
no? only i need to build boom-cart?

No, you only need center of weight to be between wheels.

If your vehicle looks like:

0-0
0-0
-X-

0 is wheel, - is frame, X is center of weight

Then it will not work.

But if your vehicle looks like:

0-0
-X-
0-0

Then it should work.

0-0
0-0
–X

because i begin construct my car from X and cloclwise

Then you need to add a wheel under the center of weight.

Should be this:

0-0
0-0
0-0
